    I usually
    go the day after Christmas. This year I will be working both days. This is a good year to miss both days as I don't have a whole lot of money to spend anyway. Temptaion levels will be down for me. I have bought some in advance and can make some out of suplies I have. I will get some holiday pay for Thanksgiving so I still can do some shopping without getting in too much trouble. I am avoiding the plastic.

    do I really want to tell you that I have done this with girlfriends for the last 21 yrs!! I personally start shopping much earlier, when I see an item that reminds me of someone, or a super hot deal~
    I have noticed tho the last few years that some of the B F D (hee hee black friday deals) are not as great as in the past.
    But, it is about being with friends, and having fun, going to dinner, and sometimes we even spend the night out somewhere~

    UGH!
    If I do, it will be online, as I really do not like to go out and about, store to store to store. Some of my colleagues at school will be out in full force.

    My step-daughter is one of the "unfortunates" who has to be at work at 9:00 pm, Thursday, as she is a manager of a Bath & Body Works, and they will be opening at 10:00.

    Never have, never will
    I honestly don't get it. There are sales all the time up until Christmas and then beyond. But it is a tradition for many and may all you shoppers enjoy the experience. I'll be painting.

    Usually you can find the same deals after Black Friday, so, we won't be doing it this year. I hope all of you that do, have a safe and fun time and get those amazing deals!

    No Chance!
    There is nothing they could put on sale that would get me out in the middle of the night to shop.

    NO WAY
    No way will I be in that line.I value my life to much now and even before. I advise others on here not to. Not worth the trauma and our health.

    The stores are so packed now I stay in the car while my husband goes grocery shopping.And all he talks about is the sick people coughing. He got mad at one guy and told him to cover his mouth. He didn't want him to spread his germs around. We've been known to go to other aisles when people cough.We don't want the crude.

    Don't know about your areas but where we live there is a epidimic of bronchitis.I got it from my grandson. He was at his peak of spreading the germ. EVERYONE I talk to had it or knew of others who had it.Lasting for 2 months for most people Me included.Meds didn't touch it.

    Stay Healthy Pink Sisters.

    Online today
    Just a few things for myself, and a pea coat for hubby at excellent prices. I wouldn't go out to the stores for any reason though.

    I love the online thing.

    Hell no!
    I worked retail sales for many years...I stay far, far away from stores and shopping malls. I'm very thankful I don't have to deal with that mess anymore!

    Melanie, I was out there too
    Melanie, I was out there too at 4AM. Katherine and her friends started at Target at 8PM (they wanted and got the 600 thread count queen sheets for $35), but I was asleep until about 3:30AM. Then, I got up and did the rounds with them. It has become a mother-daughter fun bonding day and we love to hunt down the bargains.

    Some extra fun things this year: World Market gave each person an ornament and a free movie ticket ($12 value) if you were there when they opened and JCP is giving festive little buttons for the next few weeks that have a 1 in 4 chance of having a prize (mine was $10 off at least $10 purchase).

    We end up having a nice warm breakfast at La Madeleine's around 10:30-11. Sounds crazy but we have a great time!
